5 - r.i.p. Reverend Doctor Jamie Gripton. A United Church Minister by vocation, his weekly radio show Buckets of Bob
on CIUT, the Mount Allison University campus radio station in New Brunswick, Canada, gave listeners an opportunity to "listen in to
the musical conversation between Bob Dylan and the Word". As a theologian, he guest lectured on Dylan and prophesy at the
New School in New York and at the time of his passing was writing a book demonstrating that In Dylan's work can be found
a continuation of the tradition of the political and mystical prophets of the Bible.
As a pastor, Jamie's was a social justice ministry and his work for the rights of the oppressed was untiring.
He leaves a loving family and many, many friends. Born 1956. First Dylan show, Montreal 1974; final show, Buffalo 2005. Died December 5, 2005
He was a friend of mine who left this old world with a satisfied mind. (from Marsh Birchard)

Wednesday, November 23, 2005 - Early editionat 2300 CET the night beforeI have quit using the webstats4u service in order to get rid of the popup ad. I will instead rely on Urchin or Google Analytics.
For the record, this site's best webstats4u day so far was Sept 27 2005 with 16716 visitors. This would equal about 18000 sessions in
Urchin. (I have no Urchin stats for the days around Sept 27.) A 'Session' is defined as a series of clicks on the site by an individual
visitor during a specific period of time. So 18000 is the record to beat from now on. I'll let you know if it happens. 1 - Last night's Bob Dylan

Friday, November 11, 2005 - Early editionat 0630 CETI have discovered that loading this page in some browsers also brings up a popup ad. This seems to be due to the statistics
button from webstat4u that I have on the lower left of the front page. This is too bad, because I liked those simple statistics they
offer. But they are no longer free, so I have to look for other solutions.
If you know of an equally simple and free choice with no ads, please let me know. 1 - Last night's Bob Dylan

5 - Remember Stephen Dine Young who asked you to answer his
"Dylan's Impact" questionnaire last year? -
I have written a short article entitled "Bob Dylan, Popular Music and Life Stories" that has been published (in English)
in the Norwegian psychology journal Impuls (Volume 59, Issue 2, 2005).
I am not sure how easily people would be able to get a hold
of this journal (NOK 60 KEA),
but I promised to let people know when I published any results.
I should note that this article only scratches the surface of the wonderful material people shared with me. I have 500 responses,
and for this article, I used 2 or 3. I am continuing to think about possible avenues for additional publication.
(Stephen Dine Young, Hanover College)
